John Solomon (Host)
Good evening America. Happy Friday. Welcome to the latest edition of Just the News. No noise. I'M your host, John Solomon, as you know, always Reporting from Washington, D.C. my amazing colleague Amanda Head. She's over at the White House. She'll come in and out throughout the show, but she's still covering the president there right now. Some big headlines. The president was celebrating a little while ago. Why? Because the Virginia Supreme Court ruled what we told you they would likely rule that the Democrats in that state wrongly pursued a ballot initiative. They violated state law in trying to redistrict four extra Democratic seats in that state. It's been overturned. That means Democrats will not get those four seats in this election. They've lost the opportunity to do that. A big win for Republicans. Not the only big news breaking out there today. Other big wins around the globe. President Trump was able to announce a short while ago that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to take in a three day cease fire, calm things down, see if there's maybe a deal to be had that's longer than three days. That's one win. Secondly, the president said today he expects to hear by tonight whether Iran will accept his latest offer for a long term peace deal, at least a path to a long term peace deal with Tehran that is on the table as well as we speak. And meanwhile, the president got some great news from the economy ready for this? The jobs report way outperformed expectations among economists who are predicting fewer than 50,000 jobs. It turned out to be 115,000 new jobs. And that's kind of amazing considering we're in a wartime footing. Gas prices have been up, pundits on TV have been talking down the economy, and yet the economy preferred pretty strongly. Those are all the pieces of news that President Trump was excited about when he was talking at the White House today. And meanwhile, we want to get you to some important breaking news we broke this morning. We have confirmed that the FBI has opened a criminal investigation into whether Democrats on the Senate Intelligence Committee were leaking classified information, specifically a National Security Agency intercept that mentioned Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. This is highly classified stuff. It showed up in the New York Times a year ago. The nsa, according to our sources, referred the matter to the FBI last summer. It didn't get to the director. They kept it from the director. When he found out. When Casper Tell found out a few weeks ago, he opened up a criminal investigation. It appears to be steaming towards a conclusion. We could have some accountability or at least some resolution of this in the next few weeks. That's just one of the many stories to go check out at just the news.com. a lot of breaking news will be breaking all through the weekend. So check it out. All right. Earlier this week we had a chance to sit down with Sarah Carter. We had just started that interview when President Trump came on air. We're going to replay it in its entirety. Her work in reimagining the war on drugs. Have a watch. All right, folks. Yesterday President Trump unveiled his five part strategy for tackling drug addiction in America, starting with keeping the cartels out of the country, all the way through new ways of attacking addiction. The quarterback for that incredible plan is joining us right now. She's my former colleague as a journalist today. She's the director of the White House Office of National Control Policy and making a huge difference all across the world. She is Sarah Carter. Sarah, good to have you back on the show.
- [06:10]
John Solomon
Oh, great to be on with you, John. Thank you so much for having me on. And especially with such an important day and such an important strategy, a message for the American people that President Trump is going to be there right by your side. Everyone in America, as we fight these cartels and we protect our children, our families, families, our communities and our nation from the poison and the scourge of drug addiction in America. So thank you very much.
- [06:37]
John Solomon (Host)
Oh my gosh, it's such a great honor. Every administration touches up their drug policy here and there. This isn't a touch up. This is a wholesale rethinking of every aspect of the war on drugs. Tell us some of the highlights. There are really five major parts of the strategy, correct?
- [06:53]
John Solomon
Absolutely. I think the most important part of the strategy and one of the parts that, I mean, I focused on heavily with my team here at ondcp. And I'm going to tell you, I could not do it without the incredible team here at the White House, our Office of National Drug Control Strategy, everybody from detailees from the military, dea, working with our chief medical officer and everyone on board really made this strategy come to life.
- [07:19]
Show Host / Interviewer
Really did.
- [07:20]
John Solomon
And it was emerging threats. Emerging threats is number one. And it's there for a reason. John, you and I both know we've spent our careers as investigative journalists challenging what the status quo, looking for that story, finding out what our adversaries were doing. And many times it was far too late. The opioid epidemic in the United States, it was far too late for us to see what was happening. By the time people realized there was an epidemic and the pill mills were being taken out, all of a sudden you had the Jalisco cartel at the same time taking advantage of that and selling their heroin on the street like doordash. It was insane. And then from Jalisco cartel, cartel, we saw our adversaries, China, for example, the CCP and the movement of precursor chemicals coming into the Western hemisphere. The cartels using that and then pushing fake pills on our streets. By the tonnage, where we saw the devastation in real lives, Souls lost, over 100,000 every year. Men, women, children losing their lives. We don't want that anymore. So I was very adamant with the team and here at the White House, we want to ensure that we stay ahead of whatever the enemy is going to throw at us. And that's why emerging threats became number one. Part of that is monitoring what's on our streets. And how do we do that? Well, we don't always get the truth from people because people who are using drugs don't always want to tell us that they're using drugs. So we monitor the sanitation, the sanitation sites and our wastewater, and that it's not going into people's homes, it's not invading people's privacy. But what we're able to do is go to the main sanitation sites, we're able to see what chemicals are in the compounds in the sanitation sites, in the wastewater, and we're able to extract that. And I can say that we've already had resounding results. Mettomidine was one of those results. Sadly, we were seeing an increase of mettomidine in the United States. And for the first time. For the first time, it's called rhino tranq on the streets because it's used for knocking out rhinoceroses, large animals like elephants and such, and used in farmland. But for the first time, the CDC and ONDCP issued a joint alert across the United States, warning first responders as well as doctors that this was out there. Please test for it. Please watch when people come into the or into the ER if they're on drugs, please test for it so we know what's going on. And that has been a resounding success. We also just issued our first solo warning on orphans. So we're keeping a very close eye on the narcotics that are coming into the country. And the credit I give wholeheartedly to President Donald J. Trump and the great team I have here at ondcp.
- [10:14]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah, it's amazing work. I mean, the plan has everything from artificial intelligence, the very latest technology in the world, all the way down to implementing faith into drug recovery, which is something that's often been ignored but can be very powerful. Talk about that wide Range of tools that are now in the plant.
- [10:31]
John Solomon
Well, first, artificial intelligence. We're at the cusp of human technology right now that we have never witnessed in human history. Right. This is one of the greatest changes in all time of human history. I think the only thing we can compare it to when you think of AI is maybe the industrial revolution. And right now we're at the cusp of such incredible learning. So we want to use all the tools that we can, and we're going to be bringing in private industry. I'm very excited to be working very closely with private industry and how we tackle the drug crisis using the technology and the tools that we have today to stay ahead of our enemies. You know, John, one of the things that I think is really shocking to me, you know, and you don't think about this, is that the cartels are not these gangs that are just as we imagine, you know, killing and maiming and pillaging villages only. No, these are very highly educated people, Many of them sometimes in government, many of them in intelligence themselves. They've been bought out. They've been owned by cartels. And these cartels have hundreds of billions of dollars with resources far greater than we can even imagine. And they're hiring people out of the colleges and universities. They're hiring experts in tech. They are working on ways of laundering the money like we've never seen before. So we want to stay ahead of them. We've got to get into that field. We've got to get the high tech, get the private industry in here so that we can not only defeat the cartels, but stay ahead of them. And as far as faith, this is the first time, the very first time that this strategy has put faith at the center. And why did we do that? Because 83% plus of Americans, John, believe in a power greater than themselves. They have faith in something far greater than themselves. I have a deep faith in God, in Christ, and it guides me. I'm not telling people that they have to believe, but because 83% of Americans do believe in that, and because so many of the recovery and treatment centers that we are working with are church connected, our faith connected, we wanted to be able to give them that right to work on issues connected with faith. If people choose to go to a recovery center that's part of a church or a mosque or a synagogue, whatever it may be, we want to be there to support them through that. And it's been some of the most successful. All you have to look is at Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, you know, the basic fundamentals of what is out there and free. And people can go to meetings whenever they so choose. You know, faith is at the center of that. It's giving up, giving of yourself to a higher power. So we want to support that. We want to be there for those who are in recovery. We want to honor them, we want to celebrate them, because we understand that the suffering is very real. It's very real for them, it's very real for their families. And we want a healthy nation, so we're not putting anybody aside. We want to be there for everyone, all encompassing. And if faith works by God, let's do it. Let's make faith a part of what we are doing.
- [13:51]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah. There's no greater tool against fighting drugs and taking someone who's addicted and making sure they never buy again. It's so effective a tool. There's been two big policy achievements that I don't think it talked enough about in the legacy media. One is the designation of the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, opening up all sorts of new powers. And then two, these Homeland Security task forces where the best and brightest of all the different law enforcement agencies can help target the drugs from the streets all the way back to the cartels. How much have they transformed the fight in these last few months?
- [14:25]
John Solomon
I think it's been an incredible transformation. You know, we're not operating in silos. We're operating as a whole of government approach. That is a directive from the White House, a directive from President Donald J. Trump. Stephen Miller has also been very clear about that and others within the FBI. I met with Director Kash Patel just yesterday. We can pick up the phone and call each other. We can get things done. I was this weekend. I was with Terry Cole, head of the dea. We were in Dallas, you know, for his Fentanyl Free America. But let me say, let me say this. When you look at the HSTFs, when you look at that, at the Homeland Security task forces, you're looking at the power of the American government working together to fight these foreign terrorist organizations that have poisoned our country, that have taken the lives of our people. And I think what's really incredible, John, is that President Trump brought it back. Right? We are now looking at a Western HEM approach like we have never seen in decades. We're bringing it back to the Western hemisphere. We put America first and the American people first. But by doing that, we're cleaning out the Western hem. We can't put America first if our neighbors are running shadow governments with corruption and drug cartels. We saw exactly what the HSTFs could do and our intelligence community could do when we shared intelligence with Mexico, with the Mexican government and we saw the Mexican government take action. But part of what we're doing with our national drug control strategy is also going after their financing. We are going to make sure that we pull the rug out from underneath these cartels and destroy their capabilities to launder their money, money and take their money from them. I mean, that's what keeps them alive. Right? You can take one head off the snake, but then as soon as you turn around, another head's growing. We don't want that to happen. We want to dismantle and destroy. And we're able to do that because of President Donald Trump.

Show Host / Interviewer
Welcome back, everybody, to Just the News. No noise. Our next guest is absolutely no stranger in the battle against government overreach and he is highlighting a number of things to fight back against it in Congress, from federal spending and cutting back fraud and wage to the government trying to force its way into your car and shut it down. So let's welcome now congressman representing the great state of Texas, Keith Self. Congressman, welcome back. Welcome back to the show.
- [21:14]
Congressman Keith Self
Great to be with you. Thank you.
- [21:16]
Show Host / Interviewer
We love having you. And I want to ask you about something that is happening in Texas, but also in a number of other Republican states, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, this resistance again against Islamic communities. I know Texas has roughly half a million Muslims, but there have been statewide efforts to make sure that it doesn't become basically a parallel culture in this country. It started with President Trump, but states are following. Talk to us about that effort in Texas.
- [21:44]
Congressman Keith Self
Well, it's ongoing, as you say. I have no idea whether Muslims have gone on the offense all of a sudden, but all the way from Wiley School board meeting where a Muslim organization unauthorizedly was passing out pamphlets and, and Qurans to the students during a meal time, to the water park that you just heard about, that the governor actually shut down a Muslims only day to now. Texas AM American Muslim University, the governor has shut it down because they don't actually have authority to operate as a, as a university in Texas. They were sharing real estate with a mosque in an Islamic seminary. So this goes on and on the Epic City project, now known as the Meadows. In my own, in my own district, I have asked the federal government to look at tax law, securities law, civil rights law, and housing law because I think they violate all four of those. So this is a major offensive in North Texas right now that I don't understand. But we are pushing back hard. We've got several organizations that are helping us. The governor is doing his part now. So I'm, I'm pretty optimistic that people are waking up to the dangers of Sharia in North Texas. But it is a, it is a real subject here and a relevant subject. Relevant daily subject.
- [23:18]
Donald Trump
Yeah.
- [23:18]
John Solomon (Host)
It's stunning. The things that we've learned just in the last couple of months since you began the caucus is stunning. So I want to talk about one of your colleagues, Congresswoman Jayapel. She actually encouraged, admitted that she's been working with other foreign governments to subvert President Trump's blockade on Cuba, basically helping an enemy of the United States, turning to Our other foreign partners. I remember a time when Democrats were talking about prosecuting President Trump on the Logan Act. But this seems like a really significant defiance of federal interest. What do you think could happen? Is there some action that Congress may take against her?
- [23:57]
Congressman Keith Self
Yeah, I want to see what she's actually been doing and see the proof. Because, look, we've gotten into this actions against our colleagues, so I definitely want to look at it. But look, this is not new. Jane Fonda may not have been a member of Congress, but you may remember the story where she took the slips of paper from the POWs, hopefully to take them back to America. She immediately turned around and gave them to the North Vietnamese. So this has been going on for a while, helping our enemies. But this is a member of Congress, and I will tell you, I think that rises to a level where she doesn't understand her job. Congress has oversight responsibility within the government. We certainly don't have any authority to go and help our adversaries. That is beyond the pale. And as I say, I look forward to seeing exactly what she's been doing and what Congress will do about it
- [24:54]
Show Host / Interviewer
on another front. There is nothing like making you feel like an enemy from your own government. And look, I love modern cars, I love that they have computers. I love all the bells and whistles, missiles and everything. But the government having the power to shut down your car seems like a little bit too far for me. I know you feel the same way. Talk to us about your kill the Kill Switch initiative.
- [25:17]
Congressman Keith Self
Well, it is. It is the law as of 2027, as we stand here today. So it was passed during the Biden era, of course, it was passed supposedly to keep drunk drivers off of the roads. But today, given the technology increases, it not only can not let you not start your car, it can spy on you, actually, because we've had OnStar voice activated. So today your car can spy on you. So if it thinks you're, you're inebriated or intoxicated, but you might just be excited, it won't let you start your car. What if you're fleeing from an attacker, your eye, your eyes are going to be dilated, you're going to be breathing heavily, it will think that you are inebriated. So it won't let you start the car. But then also it's listening to what you're saying. This is a terrible idea. This is, and frankly, your car is now the judge, the jury and the executioner to turn off your car. That is not the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. constitution. So this, this law, we had a chance in January to do away with it, but only 29 Democrats, I'm sorry, a few Democrats voted with us, so we didn't have enough and it went down. So it's the law of the land. And I need to emphasize that we can try to kill the kill switch, but right as of right now, it's the law of the land starting next year.
- [26:43]
Show Host / Interviewer
Terrifying.
- [26:44]
John Solomon (Host)
Sir, we've covered a lot of the FISA reform debate and we've got a temporary reprieve. And I know people are concerned about the civil liberties. We've documented a lot of the abuses of ISO over the years. But there's a secondary fight in this, and that is central bank digital currencies. And just like the kill switch could be a potential invasion in our privacy, there is a lot of concern that CBDC one day will control what we can and can't buy. Talk a little bit of what's going on behind the scenes in the FISA fight to address this.
- [27:14]
Congressman Keith Self
Yeah, but to set this up, John, I want to say, look, we have a surveillance state today. The police use geo fencing to find a potential criminal, but they police everybody up in there, not just the criminal. We've got the kill switch is the law of the land. We've got the fisa. We want a warrant. And it becomes increasingly important as we go through this and we find out how the government is spying on you is violating your Fourth Amendment rights. So the cbdc, central bank digital currency, in my mind, that is the last leg of the surveillance state because we've got cameras everywhere, all of that. But this allows the government transparent or actually vision into your bank account and control of it. You may remember the, the Canadian truckers that protested against Covid four or five years ago. The government turned off their bank accounts. That's what this would give the government the power to do. So the CBDC in my mind, is the last leg of the surveillance state. We need to do everything we can. This is an important one. We need to do everything we can to ban permanently any central bank digital currency controlled by the federal government.
- [28:32]
Show Host / Interviewer
Sir, on the PAUSE Act, America has done this a few times in the past, near moratoriums in the 19, then again a decade later during the Great Depression. And it reaped rewards for our country. It seems like the Pause act is gaining steam.
- [28:49]
Congressman Keith Self
I certainly hope so. I think that it is. But for 40 years, we basically had a pause. From the 20s to the 60s, we basically had a pause. It was a really good time for Americans, jobs, wages, so forth and so on. But I want to emphasize the PAUSE act is all legal immigration, but it also does away with birthright citizenship, ends the diversity lottery. But I want to talk about the word asylum. We need to get a grip on the word asylum. We shouldn't have to accept people simply because they're running from their country. We want to control every aspect of immigration. The PAWS act would say, let's just take a break, figure out who's in the country, who we need to repatriate to their countries, their home countries, and then maybe we can reset everything to determine who we want in our country. And the asylum, the word asylum is something I want to include in that review.
- [29:48]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah, that's important.
- [29:49]
Show Host / Interviewer
Absolutely. Congressman Keith Self from the great Lone Star State. Sir, thank you so much for being with us tonight.
- [29:56]
Congressman Keith Self
Thank you.
- [29:57]
Show Host / Interviewer
Absolutely. All right, everybody. Next we are going to take a closer look at the midterms with a candidate from Boca Raton, Florida, Scott Singer.
- [30:08]
John Solomon (Host)
Hey, folks. Most people think waking up in the middle of the night is just part of life. But doctors now say those nighttime wake ups could be affecting more than your sleep. They could be impacting your long term health. We're talking about inflammation, immune function, even memory and mental clarity. That's what made me try Ghostbed. This isn't just a mattress, it's health equipment. Ghostbed's engineered cooling helps prevent overheating, a major cause of nighttime wake ups. And precision support keeps your spine aligned so you're not tossing and turning or waking up stiff. For me, the difference was immediate. It made me realize I've been accepting bad sleep for far too long. I started getting real deep sleep and waking up rested again, which in my line of work can be pretty important. You can try it yourself. They give you 101 nights risk free to try it at home. If you don't feel the difference, send it back. Right now. Ghostbed is having their Memorial Day sale plus an extra 10% off for our audiences. Go to ghostbed.com justnews and use that promo code Just news at checkout.

John Solomon (Host)
Welcome back America. Yesterday we took you down to Boca Raton, Florida to show you that incredible experience of students learning from an AI version of George Washington. People still talking about it today. We're going to stay in Boca Raton for a second. Its former mayor now also the chairman of the AFBI's mayor's council, is running for Congress there and getting a lot of traction action against Democrat incumbent Jared Moskowitz. He's Scott Singer and he joins us right now. Mayor, good to have you on.
- [34:03]
Scott Singer
Delighted to be here. Thank you.
- [34:05]
John Solomon (Host)
All right, this is a lot of excitement in Florida now, particularly after the redistricting run that occurred the last couple of weeks. Tell us the state of play in Florida Particularly related to redistricting and how it affects you and your race, certainly redistricting.
- [34:21]
Scott Singer
The governor signed into law this week a map that should add four more competitive seats that Republicans can go vie for. They're not a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination, but my district, where I was already running, happened to have a few more Republicans put into it. The state did this in response to two maps that were drawn on the basis of race, which the Supreme Court of the state and the United States Supreme Court has now disfavored. And I'm comfortable these maps are going to stand up. We think the governor, obviously the governor and the legislature know what they're doing. In terms of the state of my race, things only improve. I was running in a district that included Boca Raton where I served for 12 years, including eight as mayor, and currently live in Fort Lauderdale, where I grew up. The district now runs all the way down to Miami beach where I was born. So I was not only born, raised and live in the district, I'm the only candidate in either party who actually lives in the district. And I've lived in all three counties of it growing up. Forty years of my life in this district. So for me, it's a bit of a homecoming. In fact, I'm was just in Miami beach now I'm in the town of Surfside as we speak, where I'll be knocking doors this afternoon. And it's exciting getting back out in this neighborhood.
- [35:25]
John Solomon (Host)
Amazing.

Show Host / Interviewer
So safe to say you are well known to your constituents, but also they, you know them well, so you know the issues. What do they talk about when you're out your door knocking? What do they tell you is their most concern?
- [35:41]
Scott Singer
Well, foreign policy is a big concern here in South Florida, and people here are thrilled with what the with President Trump and what the administration did in Venezuela. And we understand that the threat of a nuclear Iran is catastrophic for America, for our allies, including our strongest ally, Israel. And that's why we're seeing strong support for this. Yes, we have temporarily higher gas prices, but as we were reminded yesterday, it was a President Biden spokesperson who said the president doesn't set the price of gas. Regardless, the fundamentals of the economy have been incredibly strong. Stock market at record high. We have a lot of retirees who are invested here and understand that impact positively. We had record gdp, we had record low inflation compared to what we saw under Biden and even under Obama. So the fundamentals of the economy are strong. People are happy about that. But there are local issues that touch on all levels. Infrastructure is always a concern. Insurance costs are always a concern. And those are more local issues than they are federal. Nevertheless, I'm running in the federal race to understand what we need to do to move our country forward, to build on the success of the Trump administration in cutting waste, cutting fraud, fraud, ridiculous programs and the biggest tax cut in American history.
- [36:49]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah, so much to run on, particularly once if the war ends and it looks like it's on the path to do so, those issues resurface to the forefront. I want to talk a little bit about Jared Moskowitz. He is in a party that seems greatly misaligned with the general Florida voters mores and values for this country. How does he position himself when his party is so far to the left right now?
- [37:15]
Scott Singer
That's a question he'll have to ask himself. The Democratic Party we see today is a faint glimmer of what it was when it was not only our parents generation, but 10, 15 years ago. They continue to embrace far left ideologies, radical policies that are at odds with the mainstream. And we've gotten a lot of support from former Democrats and non party voters who understand that the Republican Party is the party of common sense. It's the party of lower taxes, less regulation. I'm not advancing a far left or woke agenda. And this is the party that is now the party of the middle class. No taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime. People understand what these tax cuts meant under President Trump and they're responding positively. So the message we're getting is encouraging. And despite the national trend, I think Florida is going to be solidly red. We've got a great whole lineup of statewide candidates from Byron Donald's running from Governor, Attorney General Uthmeyer all the way down. And we're going to be out working hard like so many other local candidates are and congressional candidates.
- [38:18]
John Solomon (Host)
That's important.
- [38:19]
Show Host / Interviewer
Mayor Money in politics is a necessary evil. Just pure example. Just I think it was last week, week before a Democrat Senate candidate had to drop out because you just run out of money. It takes money to fuel a campaign for you. How do you reach voters there? I know it's the door knocking and that is the most respectable way to reach voters. But it also, it's campaign ads, it's, it's hits on the radio. But you are doing quite well when it comes to the fundraising department. Tell us about it.
- [38:47]
Scott Singer
Well, we've been overwhelmed that I'm very grateful and humbled by it, frankly. We had the best performance of any Republican challenger last quarter, which was our first quarter with the in the United States of raising money from other generous contributors. With the exception of one race in Texas, which was the de facto general because it was a race Republican primary and a heavy red seat, we're going to look to continue those gains. We've had more than 5,000 people visit our website@scottsingerusa.com to make a generous contribution. And whether it's a dollar or $7,000, the maximum, it all adds up. But we're working hard. We're spending our money very well and wisely. And we also have a lot of volunteers and that helps stretch the effort. And if anyone wants to find out more, they can go to that website again. Scottsingerusa.com but, but I take nothing for granted. We had a great performance last quarter. I'm looking to do better this second quarter. We know the Democrats are going to be pouring tons of money into the swing districts and this district is the swingiest in Florida. So this is a real pickup opportunity for the Republican Party, for our nation. And I'm working very hard to go win it.
- [39:47]
John Solomon (Host)
Mayor, before we let you go, how do people stay in touch with all the great work you're doing and with your campaign?
- [39:54]
Scott Singer
Thank you. Again, I'm on social media on all platforms@scottslinger USA website scottsingerusa.com and I look forward to coming back here anytime because I'm happy to talk with you all, both, of course, your viewers and anyone who wants to reach out. I'd love to hear your thoughts. This is a shared vision for our country. Are we going to continue on the progress we've had the last 250 years? Are we going to be doomsayers? I believe in the prospect of America and that's why I'm running.
- [40:19]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah. So very important. And you're running with a lot of energy right now. People are very excited, excited about your candidacy, sir. Good to have you on the show today. Thanks for joining us.
- [40:28]
Scott Singer
Thank you so much.

John Solomon (Host)
Hi, folks, everybody. Where after the commercial break. The Iran war has caused some uncertainty in the markets. What does it mean for your retirement? We're going to cover that with my good friend Shannon Davis right after these messages. Hey, folks, the FBI just released the 2025 crime data and 85% of the $20 billion in cybercrime losses were due to fraud. Does not surprise you? Not at all. Real estate fraud is a growing part of that. In 2025 alone, more than 12,000 real estate fraud cases were documented and only a fraction are ever reported, costing victims well over $275 million complaints up 32% this year. Year over year, losses rose even faster, up 58%. What makes this worse? There is no government cybersecurity protection built for homeowners against these threats. Their own reporting documents how cybercriminals use AI to generate forged deeds, convincing fake signatures, counterfeit notary seals and file them digitally through county recorder portals that process the documents without verifying anything. So what can you do to protect yourself? Well, you do what I do. Protect your equity from fraud with Home Title Lock. Their million dollar triple lock protection monitors your title 24. 7, alerts you to any changes in the public record. And if you're a victim, God forbid they'll spend up to a million bucks to fix the fraud and restore your title. So go to hometitlelock.com and use that promo code jtn for a free trial and a free title history report so you can find out today if you're already a victim. That's hometitlelock.com promo code jtn.

Welcome back America. We have a great show planned for you but President Trump has just stepped outside the White House. He's talking with reporters. We're going to take you there live. Have a watch. You.
- [44:20]
John Solomon
Think they're slow rolling it? Do you think they're intentionally slow rolling the process?
- [44:24]
Donald Trump
We'll find out soon enough Then yesterday
- [44:27]
John Solomon
you met a Brazilian leader. Did you, are you willing to cancel the tariffs and did you discuss.
- [44:34]
Donald Trump
Well, we had a good meeting. We had a great meeting with the president of Brazil and we'll see what happens. They want to do business with the United States. Everybody does.
- [44:42]
John Solomon
Are you planning to fire.
- [44:44]
Donald Trump
We had a very good meeting.
- [44:45]
John Solomon
Are you planning to fire Marty McCrary?

- [44:49]
Donald Trump
Nothing much.
- [44:52]
John Solomon
Going to fire him.
- [44:54]
Donald Trump
I've been reading about it, but I know nothing about it. Mr. Are, are you, are you optimistic about Iranian response to you tonight? Why not it, are you optimistic about Iranian response to your proposal? I'll see what happens. Look, they have no military. They have not a lot left. We'll see what happens. Yeah, go. Mr. President, when you, if you decide to pull you out.
- [45:16]
Scott Singer
I'm sorry.
- [45:17]
Donald Trump
Mr. President, you announced a three day cease fire in the Ukraine, Russia warning longer than three days. I mean it could be to be nice. I'd like to see it stop. Russia, Ukraine, it's the worst thing since World War II in terms of life. 25,000 young soldiers every month. It's crazy. So it could very well be if you, if you, Mr. President, if you decide to pull troops from Germany, will you move them to Poland or maybe some other countries on the eastern flank? Well, Poland would like that. We have a great relationship with Poland. I have a great relationship with the president. You remember I endorsed him and he won and he came from way behind and he won. He's a great fighter. He's a great guy. I like him a lot. So that's possible. But will you do it? He's asking you for Mr. President, you seem happy about the election of your prime minister of Iraq. How is important Kurdistan Regional Government, Iraqi federal government and United States of America working together and reduce military influence on the region and Victoria, So we had a great election in Iraq. We had somebody that I very strongly endorsed. He won by a lot and I wasn't happy with the person who was there previously. So it was a great victory. We had a lot of great victories. We had a big victory today in Virginia, as you know, and we have a lot of victories. But the victory in Iraq was really great.
- [46:58]
John Solomon
Are you bringing someone new in to lead?
- [47:06]
Donald Trump
I sort of leave that to them. I'm happy about everything. Our country is doing well. We just have new stock market records. Everybody's 401k is hitting a record. The numbers are absolutely incredible. The job numbers. We have more people working today than we ever had working in this country. The job numbers. Thank you.

Sends a Neckcraft carrier toward the Strait of Hormuz.
- [47:38]
John Solomon
Try and send any reaction?
- [47:40]
Donald Trump
No, I have no reaction to that. No, not at all. I think we're doing very well. Iran is seeming to be coming along very well. Militarily, Very good. We'll see whether or not they can get there. Safeguarding. We have it. We have very good people looking at it. It seems to be okay. They know the virus very well. They've worked with it for a long time. They know it very well. Not easy to pass on. So we hope that's true.
- [48:11]
John Solomon
That you discussed with the President of Brazil.
- [48:13]
Congressman Keith Self
It was a long meeting, right?
- [48:14]
Donald Trump
Yeah, we had a great meeting. We discussed everything. President of Brazil. We discussed everything. We had a very good meeting. We have a very good relationship with him and with Brazil. We discussed everything. Including tariffs? No, no. I asked. And President Putin agreed. President Zelensky agreed both readily. And we have a. A little period of time where they're not going to be killing people. That's very good. And they also agreed to give 1000 on each side a thousand prisoners back. So they're going to be transferring almost immediately a thousand prisoners from each side. That's very good. Russia, Ukraine, you plan to talk to
- [49:00]
John Solomon
them again to try to get.
- [49:01]
Congressman Keith Self
Yeah, I will.
- [49:02]
Donald Trump
I'd like to. I'd like to see a big extension. Will your deal travel to Moscow?
- [49:09]
John Solomon (Host)
Mr. President, would you consider leaving the
- [49:10]
John Solomon
World Health Organization because of the outbreak of Hansavirus?
- [49:13]
Donald Trump
No, we seem to have things under very good control. They know that virus very well. It's been around a long time. Not easily transferable, unlike Covid. But we'll see. We're studying it very close. We have very good people studying it very closely. We're at a point almost 10 weeks after a missile having. So that's under study right now. And we'll give you a report as soon as we have it. Will you send your team to Moscow now that the Russians have ceasefire in The Ukraine war to negotiate further. What? Will you send your team to Moscow to negotiate further now that you. Well, I would do it if I thought it would help, I'd do it. I'd love to see that war end. I've settled eight wars and actually nine and now it looks like we could have 10. But I would love to make that the 10th. I will tell you, I would love to see, I would love to see an end between Russia, Ukraine that were 25,000 young soldiers were killed last month and it's on average 25 to 30,000 soldiers a month. It's a terrible war. Terrible.
- [50:25]
John Solomon
Mr. President, South Korea, you said that South Korean was attacked by Iran, but Iran denied.
- [50:36]
Donald Trump
Do you share with. I love South Korea. Is important ceasefire includes Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan because after ceasefire with Iran several times times Iranian regime and crafts targeting Iraqi Kurdistan as your allies. We want to get the whole thing ended, not just individual movements. We want to get the whole thing ended and we will.
- [52:05]
John Solomon (Host)
All right, folks, you've been watching President Trump answer reporters questions. A lot of foreign press in the press poll today for the president before he leaves the White House for a trip. This weekend. The president sounding very optimism, optimistic about what happened between Ukraine and Russia. It was a very good day for the president. Right. He had positive job numbers. 3 day cease fire between Ukraine and Russia and then an extraordinary announcement when the Virginia Supreme Court came down and said we're eradicating the election that gave four seats to the Democrats. Now that puts those seats back in Republican hands. A lot of optimism today. And we're going to take a quick commercial break. When we come back, we've got one more great block the jury. Jerry Dunleavy, my great investigative reporter, next right after these messages. Welcome back, America. I got a perfect way to send us into the weekend. Every so often I get the honor to share my byline with this guy. He is the greatest investigative reporter I've ever had a chance to work with. This week we broke some important news about election interference. He's our chief investigative correspondent at Just the News. He joins us right now. Jerry Dunleavy. Jerry, good to have you on the show, my friend.
- [53:25]
Jerry Dunleavy
Good to be here. Thanks, John.
- [53:28]
John Solomon (Host)
All right, so we have a lot of evidence now that the government went from creating a fake Russia collusion investigation to harm Donald Trump's reelection campaigns to when he's president now depriving him of actionable intelligence because they didn't want to help him out. Tell us what we've learned from these new documents from Tulsi gabbard yeah, so
- [53:52]
Jerry Dunleavy
we knew already that, that intelligence analysts and intelligence officers inside the IC in 2020 had sought to downplay or conceal entirely what China was trying to do to influence the election with China attempting to undermine Trump's candidacy. And we know that from an investigation that was done into that, that these intelligence officers, intelligence analysts, were trying to downplay the intelligence that they had about what China was doing because they, one, didn't want to inadvertently help Trump administration policies towards China, and two, because they didn't want to inadvertently help Trump's reelection campaign. And we're learning even more now about some of the information, evidence and intelligence that the IC had in 2020 that was hidden from the president, including by allegedly editing and watering down PDBs, presidential daily briefings, evidence that was allegedly concealed from Congress, so from congressional oversight and not informing congressional leaders. And, of course, information that was hidden from the American public. And now some of this information, now thanks to our work and some declassifications from DNI Gabbard, some of this is now public, but a lot of it still isn't six years later.
- [55:39]
John Solomon (Host)
It's amazing. There were two things in these latest round of documents. The fact that there were appeared to be documents that say they were massaging President Trump's. Massaging was, I think, the word President Trump's presidential daily brief to keep certain things out from him because they didn't want him to be know he was right about China. And then another instance, much like what we had during Russia collusion, where they doctored a document for the FISA Corp, a CIA agent claimed he was being asked to doctor an intelligence document to take some China stuff out. When agents, when intelligence operatives get to that level of meddling, they're actually harming, I guess, the national security, right, because they're keeping things from the people who are deciders 100%.
- [56:19]
Jerry Dunleavy
I mean, you know, I'm approaching this and just in a very factual and nonpartisan way at all. I mean, this is a, this should be a nonpartisan thing. The intelligence community can't be changing or massaging or editing intelligence for their own personal political reasons. I mean, that's how you run into trouble. You politicize intelligence and you keep all of the facts away from the people that are actually making the decisions, who are elected leaders in Congress and the President of the United States. And, you know, I did this story and it's still kind of, kind of stunning. An analytic ombudsman did some interviews with some of the analysts who were allegedly sort of playing some doing some funny business with this, with this intelligence reporting. And one of them said that the reason why this intelligence analyst was sort of downplaying what China was up to is because this intelligence analyst didn't want their intelligence to help out. And to go to that vulgarian in the White House.
- [57:32]
John Solomon (Host)
So never going to forget that Bulgarian in the White House. That's what they consider the commander in chief. Just amazing.
- [57:38]
Martha Stewart
100.
- [57:40]
Jerry Dunleavy
It's politicization of the IC and it's. It's dangerous.
- [57:44]
John Solomon (Host)
Yeah. Jerry, always appreciate your work, buddy. Great job on this story. And I know a lot more to come. Folks, that wraps up our Friday edition. Hope you have a blessed week. And we'll be back Monday with more news. Until then, have a great evening.
